On January 20th in the Beijing time zone, Italian media giant Niccolò Scilla exposed a heavy transfer: Serie A powerhouse Genoa is plotting to welcome back England's West Ham United's sideways speedster Kornai on loan. The news instantly made waves in the soccer world, and all kinds of heroes have paid attention to it.
The 28-year-old Kornai landed at Premier League Southampton on loan last summer, but his performances this season have clearly fallen short of the team's and fans' expectations. So far, he has made only four appearances for the Saints and has no goals and zero assists to his name.
Scilla further broke the news that Corne is about to unilaterally break his loan deal with Southampton and is expected to undergo a medical assessment by Genoa in the next 48 hours. If all goes well, he will officially join his new Serie A owners on loan. This is undoubtedly a turning point in Kornai's career, and is expected to rekindle his passion in the Italian game.
It's worth noting that West Ham United will pay the majority of Corne's wages in the deal, which not only demonstrates the club's unwavering support and trust in the player, but also eases Genoa's financial burden when it comes to bringing in strong reinforcements.
Corne, as an experienced side-kicker, has bounced around several top teams in Europe. His arrival will inject new blood into Genoa's offensive line. Fans are eagerly waiting for him to shine on the Serie A stage and help the team win more glory.
